“…The latter is relatively large with a maximum x Ga Z0.14 at 1634 K. Eight intermetallic compounds Ga 6 Pt, Ga 7 Pt 3 , Ga 2 Pt, Ga 3 Pt 2 , GaPt, Ga 3 Pt 5, GaPt 2 , and GaPt 3 were found in the Ga-Pt system, in which GaPt and GaPt 3 melt congruently and others are formed by peritectic reactions. The crystal structures of all these compounds were measured by Bhan and Schubert [9], Schubert et al [10], Zintl et al [11], Swenson and Morosin [12], Hellner and Laves [13], and Chattopadhyay and Schubert [14] respectively. Oya [15] revised Pt-rich portion of the Pt-Ga phase diagram by metallography, X-ray analysis and DTA.…”
